How to uninstall Amazon app in 17.10, 18.04?

  • 772

I do not particularly appreciate the Amazon logo reminding me to consume every time I open the app overview in Ubuntu 17.10 and later?

Since previous questions have been related to the Amazon launcher of the 17.10-irrelevant Unity-specific unity-webapps-common package, the answers are no longer applicable.

How may I in uninstall the app Ubuntu 17.10 running GNOME Shell?

18.04

  2. If you're bothered by its presence in app overview, you can simply go to usr/share/applications and remove the corresponding .desktop file (ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop) or add an extra NoDisplay=true line inside the .desktop file.
